Feb. 7 (UPI) — Ringo Starr is going on tour in 2022.
The 81-year-old singer and musician shared plans Monday for a new North American tour with his All Starr Band.
The All Starrs include Steve Lukather, Colin Hay, Warren Ham, Gregg Bissonette, Hamish Stuart and Edgar Winter.
Starr and his band will kick off the tour May 27 in Rama, Ontario, and bring the venture to a close June 26 in Clearwater, Fla.
“I can’t wait to get back on the road and play,” Starr said in a press release. “This is the longest I’ve been off the road in years — up until 2020 I was touring every year with the All Starrs — and I’ve really missed it.”
“Making music in the studio has been great, and it certainly saved me during the pandemic, but nothing beats playing live with great musicians in front of an audience,” he added. “I love my fans and they love me and it’s going to be wonderful to be peace and loving and playing for them again.”
Starr came to fame as the drummer for the Beatles. He last released the EPs Zoom In and Change the World in 2021.
